- The Latvian traditional song "Kas tie tādi, kas dziedāja?" (Who are those, who sing?) is performed by the Yale Russian Chorus and Alumni at the 70th Anniversary Concert.
Arranged by Denis Mickiewicz, founding conductor of the Yale Russian Chorus.
❗️ Interesting: "Kas tie tādi, kas dziedāja?" is our most beloved Latvian song, as it links the Chorus to the fate of its founding conductor, Denis Mickiewicz, who grew up in Latvia, and also holds the memory of our first trip to Latvia. Denis Mickiewicz knew this song from his childhood, and when the Yale Russian Chorus went on tour to Latvia in 1959, he arranged it for the Chorus right on the train that took us to Riga. We also sang this song when we toured Eastern Europe in 1968, and many times since.
We dedicate this performance to Denis Mickiewicz and send him this video as a token of appreciation and gratitude ❤️
Conductor: Steven Lipsitt.
Filming & editing: Emma Kazaryan.
September 9, 2023, Woolsey Hall, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.
🎶 This song and the entire album "Mnogaya L’eta! 65 Years of the Yale Russian Chorus, Vol. 2: Russian, American, and Other Songs" are available for listening on various streaming platforms: band.link/FgIJc

#KasTieTādi
"Kas tie tādi, kas dziedāja?" is a Latvian traditional song arranged by Denis Mickiewicz, the founding conductor of the Yale Russian Chorus. Denis Mickiewicz knew this song as a small child growing up in Latvia. He arranged this song on the train to Riga, the capital of Latvia, during the 1959 tour; the Chorus was doing a concert that evening and needed something Latvian.
This plaintive, haunting song tells of the bitter fate of orphans and street children. And it's also an allegory of the history of the Latvian people, who traditionally refer to themselves as orphans in the world. Under German and Russian control since A.D. 1100, they had enjoyed less than 25 years of national independence before the collapse of the Soviet Union.
During the 20th Century many Latvians, including orphans, were forced to flee their homeland. The song "Kas tie tādi, kas dziedāja?" evokes that experience.
📌 Lyrics:
1.
Who are they, who sing
In the sunless evening?
They are all orphan children,
They serve a harsh master.
2.
They light the fire, warm the air,
Wipe away bitter tears,
Gnaw on hard crusts,
Dipping them in spring water.
3.
The sun, late in the evening,
Sits in her golden boat,
Early in the morning, rising,
She leaves her swaying boat.
4.
Why, o Sun, did you rise so late,
Where did you linger so long?
I was behind those hills,
Keeping the orphans warm.

Friends, welcome to our channel!
The Yale Russian Chorus is the oldest singing group in the New World dedicated to the music of Russia and nearby countries. The YRC was founded 1953 at the height of the Cold War. Founders: Denis Mickiewicz and George Litton.
Singers join while students at Yale, and many stay active throughout their lives. Every year or so we hold a major concert in which students and alumni sing together. Many alumni also join the students on tours to Russia.
Without a doubt, each of us had our own motivation to join the Russian choir. But we offer you a quote from one of the members of our choir, which unites us to some extent and explains a little the meaning of the choir in our lives: "Singing the music of the YRC in the style we sang it, was an antidote to the intellectualism that got many of us into Yale in the first place, but that could be so restrictive to the heart and spirit".
The singers are not Russians, or emigrants from Russia, but are students and former students who share a passion for the music and a belief in the power of music to build connections between people of different countries.
Thanks to RUclips, we are pleased to share these recordings with online audiences around the world who share our passion for this music.

We have toured Russia and Eastern Europe many times, and we really hope that we will be able to hit the road again when the time comes 🌿

Дорогие друзья! Dear Friends!
«Kas tie tādi, kas dziedāja?» - наша cамая любимая латышская песня, поскольку она связывает хор с судьбой нашего дирижера-основателя, Дениса Мицкевича, выросшего в Латвии, а также хранит память о первом путешествии нашего хора туда. Денис Мицкевич был знаком с этой песней с раннего детства, и когда Русский хор Йельского университета отправился на гастроли в Латвию в 1959 году, он аранжировал ее для хора прямо в поезде, который вез нас в Ригу. Мы также исполняли эту песню во время гастролей по Восточной Европе в 1968 году и много раз после этого.
Мы посвящаем это выступление Денису Мицкевичу и посылаем ему это видео в знак признательности и благодарности ❤
